What does the Church say about tapioca, that is what I want to know -- just kidding.

Are you speaking about tapioca as a thickening agent or in pudding?

 

[MikeK]

Gross.

I'd rather eat a big steamy bowl of AIDS than tapioca.

 

[MrJim]

Yum, especially large pearl tapioca

The little tapioca pearls in pudding and elsewhere. I like them in pudding, and in regular teas and milk-teas/smoothies.

how wrong can one go with any kind of pudding???

tapioca is your crockpot friend, too-it makes sauces and gravies thicken nicely during cooking, so no extra work is required! again how wrong can one go with no extra work....

I don't mind the flavor. It's the texture of the stuff that gets to me. Yeeuck! It looks way too close to my snail's eggs in my aquarium.

mmmmm Buble tea is so good, I just get the black tea w/ honey or green tea w/ honey
my mom uses tapioca in her blackberry pie to thicken it and she makes good tapioca pudding, although one time she did not have enough milk, and you could cut it in slices and it held its shape me and my Dad were "yum slices of pudding"... mom did not think that was funny

Tapioca is a flavorless, colorless, odorless starch extracted from the root of the plant species Manihot esculenta. This species, native to South America, is now cultivated worldwide and has many names, including cassava, bitter-cassava, manioc, "mandioca", "aipim", "macaxeira", "manioca", "boba", "yuca" (not to be confused with yucca) and "kappa" in the state of Kerala in India. Tapioca is a staple food in some regions and is used worldwide as a thickening agent, principally in foods. Tapioca is gluten free, and nearly protein free. The commercial form of tapioca most familiar to many people is pearl tapioca.

Tapioca pudding (also known as sago pudding) is a sweet pudding made with tapioca and, usually, milk. It is made in many cultures, in many styles. Its consistency ranges from thin (runny), to thick, to firm enough to eat with a fork. Like its close relation bubble tea, very thin tapioca pudding resembles an emulsion.

The pudding can be made from scratch using tapioca in a variety of forms: flakes, coarse meal, sticks, and pearls. Many commercial packaged mixes are available also. Uncooked, tapioca pearls resemble pellets of styrofoam; cooked, they resemble fish eggs.

Yum, especially large pearl tapioca

I bought a case of large pearl on Amazon about two years ago. A deal too good to resist. Trouble is it takes a while to make the non pre-cooked kind and after the first batch....well the other 11 packages are sitting in the pantry. Doesn't spoil however I guess so someday...

These are very big and somewhat rubbery pearls and if I had it to do again (which I won't until the year 2030 the way I'm going now) I would have selected the small pearls.
